PRINCE2F Practice Question: Overview of PRINCE2 and the project environment
Which TWO of the following are PRINCE2 principles?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between PRINCE2 principles and themes, so the trap here is that 'Manage by phases' sounds like a principle but is actually a misinterpretation of the 'Manage by stages' principle, and 'Document everything' seems logical but is not a formal principle.

✓
Tailor to suit the project environment
'Tailor to suit the project environment' is one of the seven PRINCE2 principles. This principle requires that the method be adapted to the specific context, complexity, size, and risk of the project, ensuring the framework remains relevant and practical without unnecessary overhead.
